Stephen Colbert: Here's the real reason Donald Trump tweets so much

Donald Trump has been making noise on Twitter that has turned into major headlines, and Stephen Colbert thinks he knows what's behind it.

While it's been reported that President-elect Trump's transition team is facing some hurdles, Trump himself took to Twitter to say the transition is "going so smoothly." He added that it's a "very organized process" and "I am the only one who knows who the finalists are!"

"Only Trump the Magnificent knows who the finalists are," Colbert said. "He's going to reveal the winners in a dramatic ceremony in the Rose Garden."

Craziest Donald Trump Tweets

I told you @TIME Magazine would never pick me as person of the year despite being the big favorite They picked person who is ruining Germany

I would like to wish everyone, including all haters and losers (of which, sadly, there are many) a truly happy and enjoyable Memorial Day!

Just made the point at #NCGOPcon that "we have to protect our border & I think everyone here knows, nobody can build a wall like Trump!"

My twitter has become so powerful that I can actually make my enemies tell the truth.

China's Communist Party has now publicly praised Obama's reelection. They have never had it so good. Will own America soon.

While Jon Stewart is a joke, not very bright and totally overrated, some losers and haters will miss him & his dumb clown humor. Too bad!

Why is Obama playing basketball today? That is why our country is in trouble!

An 'extremely credible source' has called my office and told me that @BarackObama's birth certificate is a fraud.

Remember, I said Derek don't sell your Trump World Tower apartment...its been lucky for you. The day after he sold it, he broke his foot.

I never fall for scams. I am the only person who immediately walked out of my ‘Ali G’ interview

.@cher--I don’t wear a “rug”—it’s mine. And I promise not to talk about your massive plastic surgeries that didn’t work.

The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.

.@katyperry is no bargain but I don't like John Mayer--he dates and tells--be careful Katy (just watch!).

.@BetteMidler talks about my hair but I'm not allowed to talk about her ugly face or body --- so I won't. Is this a double standard?

Truly weird Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky reminds me of a spoiled brat without a properly functioning brain. He was terrible at DEBATE!

Hey @realDonaldTrump - In case you're looking for that tweet you deleted .. I got it right here. http://t.co/a6F98q5xGU

This very expensive GLOBAL WARMING bullshit has got to stop. Our planet is freezing, record low temps,and our GW scientists are stuck in ice

Everyone knows I am right that Robert Pattinson should dump Kristen Stewart. In a couple of years, he will thank me. Be smart, Robert.

26,000 unreported sexual assults in the military-only 238 convictions. What did these geniuses expect when they put men & women together?

Sorry losers and haters, but my I.Q. is one of the highest -and you all know it! Please don't feel so stupid or insecure,it's not your fault

How amazing, the State Health Director who verified copies of Obama’s “birth certificate” died in plane crash today. All others lived

But Colbert had another response.

"I think for the president-elect to be tweeting at all, it's just weird. So why is Trump doing it?"

A member of Trump's transition team said on a news show that tweeting is the president-elect's "way of relaxing."

"Is this really how we're going to treat the commander-in-chief?" Colbert shot back. "'He likes it, it's fun, okay? Let him play with the button. It calms him down. It's shiny and red like a toy. He paws at it. It relaxes him.'"

The "Late Show" host thinks that's not quite the truth, however.

"I'm going to call bulls--- on this," he said. "Twitter isn't Trump's entertainment. It's his way around the press."

Colbert mentioned how Trump also evaded his press pool in real life in order to enjoy a steak dinner in New York City. One reporter was able to get in by making a reservation.

"So don't worry, journalists. You will have access to the president," Colbert said. "Just take this buzzer and browse Barnes & Noble for a while. It will vibrate when your democracy is ready."
